agreed, i also heard about the misinterpretation of the rules. it was a great show of sportsmanship, i just think it wouldn't happen in a men's game for the reasons I stated. Not implying anything other than different attitudes between most men and women in a competitive environment. I applaud what the young ladies did, just don't see it happening in a men's game.
